That being said I've allocated 75% of my RAM as well for good measure. In a nutshell, he said that it's not all about the RAM, it's to do with the CPU, the more hardware cores or virtual threads the host has the more lab nodes that can run. I dedicated all of the CPU resources to the EVE-NG Virtual machine, this is a recommendation by the EVE-NG CEO Uldis Dzerkals, I learnt this when I was watching a free course called Introduction To EVE-NG uploaded by INE.com on Youtube where Uldis was a guest speaker. I created a new Virtual Machine called EVE-NG Pro
What I did next was to head over to and download the ISO file and then upload the ISO to the ESXi Datastore. Now that I have VMware ESXi installed on my Cisco UCS C240 lab server, I'm moving on to the fun stuff! So the first job I needed to do was install EVE-NG pro within ESXi 7.0, buy a license and fire it up and start building some awesome labs! I was intrigued to see what this beast of a server could do.
